Chapter 1132 1232. Public

The house that Ms. Rowling helped to find is in a place near Brighton called Hove.

The environment here is much quieter than the city center of the foggy city. There are many high-quality schools around, as well as museums and galleries. You can see the sea in five minutes and drive to the station in ten minutes. There is a direct line to the foggy city.

The disadvantage is that the house price is relatively high, but for this reason, most of the families living nearby are middle-class or above, and the police here are more responsible than those in ordinary areas. The public security is much better than most areas in the city.

After Rowling sent the photos to Nie Wei, Nie Wei was ready to go to Hove. Shu Chang would also follow this trip to the UK. After all, Shu Chang would accompany Nie Wei to live there for more than three months in the future.

A week later, Nie Wei and Shu Chang came to the property in person.

Nie Wei and Shu Chang did not rush to see the house, but walked around twice to get familiar with the surrounding environment.

It was basically the same as what Rowling had introduced. Most of the residents nearby were middle class, and they were basically families with children, because the most famous thing about this area was the several primary and secondary schools, which were famous school districts nearby.

Nie Wei also visited the gallery and museum, but the content was unremarkable. Shu Chang, on the other hand, was very interested in it and finally bought a painting, spending two thousand pounds.

Although Nie Wei didn't think that the abstract painting that looked like nothing was worth two thousand pounds, Shu Chang liked it, so he didn't say anything to spoil the fun.

After getting familiar with the surrounding environment, Nie Wei and Shu Chang returned to the house and visited the villa for the first time accompanied by the real estate agent.

The main body of the villa is a three-story structure, and there is another underground entertainment room. The garage was built next to the villa and could park two cars. At this time, there was a Volkswagen Golf left by the original owner in the garage, which looked about 80% new. If Nie Wei bought the villa, this car would be given to Nie Wei as a gift.

The villa has a large garden. The original owner did not do anything fancy, just a neat lawn. There is a half basketball court in the backyard. It can be seen that the original owner's child should be a boy who likes basketball.

After visiting the yard and garage, the real estate agent opened the door and invited Nie Wei and Shu Chang to come in to check.

Ms. Luo Lin is still very reliable. When she asked someone to take the photos, she asked a professional real estate agent to take them. Basically, some details that ordinary people can't notice were all taken into consideration by this professional.

When Nie Wei arrived at the scene, he only needed to check and compare the content in the photo to see if it was consistent with the photo. The accompanying real estate agent was not like the domestic one who might fool you in order to sell the house. He would tell Nie Wei some hidden dangers of the house and then give maintenance suggestions.

If Nie Wei agrees, he only needs to pay a maintenance fee, and then their agency will send professional maintenance workers to repair the house.

If the house still has any non-human damage problems after repair within a certain period of time, then the agency will be responsible, and the subsequent repairs and even compensation will be borne by the agency.

Of course, Nie Wei can also refuse these repair suggestions, then the agency will naturally not bear the future risks of the house.

Nie Wei thinks this is really good. Everything is written into the contract. Although it will cost more money, who doesn't want to be worry-free after moving into the house?

If the house is leaking here and there, just the trouble of these things is enough to toss people. Now that the agency is responsible, it is naturally better, saving a lot of trouble.

Nie Wei and Shu Chang are also very satisfied with the layout of the house. Several bedrooms are facing north and south, and there is plenty of sunlight.

The living room on the first floor is also very large, and there is a fireplace. Of course, this thing is purely decorative in Nie Wei's eyes, at most playing with feelings. In winter, if you really rely on this thing to keep warm, you may freeze to death.

In fact, the house has a heating system, but it is not like the water heating in China, but electric heating, which is more like air conditioning. So in winter, the amount of electricity consumed by this heating system alone is amazing. It will only be installed for families with a certain amount of financial resources, otherwise the large electricity bill alone is enough to make people's wallets embarrassed.

The layout was satisfactory, and there was nothing wrong with the house, except that some of the water pipes and circuits were slightly aging. After seeing everything, Nie Wei signed a sales contract with the real estate agent on the spot and paid in full. After paying, he also got the key to the house.

The real estate agent was a little floating when he left. A house worth one million pounds was sold so easily, and the key customer still paid in full. If he could meet such a customer every day, he felt that his dream of moving here might really be not far away.

Although the house was bought, Shu Chang and Nie Wei did not live there.

Although they were very satisfied with the layout of the house, they did not like the decoration style. The house needed to be renovated, and harmful gases needed to be removed at that time. It would take at least a month before they could move in.

After buying the house, Nie Wei also called Rowling to thank her for her help.

Rowling was also very happy to hear that Nie Wei bought the house she recommended. On the one hand, it solved the problem of the old friend's house, and on the other hand, it also helped Nie Wei.

Nie Wei made the invitation over the phone. Ms. Rowling had helped a lot in this matter, so naturally he had to treat her to a meal.

Ms. Rowling accepted the invitation without hesitation over the phone, and the two agreed to have dinner together at a famous western restaurant in Fog City the next day.

At this time in China, Nie Wei once again topped the hot search list.

Because the second episode of "Roommate" was broadcast, Nie Wei's sweet and sour pork, which made all the stars drool, also attracted the attention of many foodies on the Internet.

"How delicious is it? Why are you so greedy? I'm drooling just watching it."

"No, I want to order sweet and sour pork, I want to eat sweet and sour pork!"

"According to rumors, Nie Wei recorded another canteen variety show in South Korea, and he also made sweet and sour pork. It attracted countless Koreans to chase it crazily that day, and sold hundreds of copies."

"Is it the "Chinese Restaurant" you mentioned? When will it be broadcast?"

"Who cares what show it is? I want to eat sweet and sour pork now, and it's made by Nie Wei. If I don't eat sweet and sour pork, I won't become a fairy."

"The late-night poison series is really poisonous. My weight loss plan that I've been insisting on for a week has failed."

Many celebrities looked at the purple-red "Nie Wei, Sweet and Sour Pork" on the hot search transparent, and all smiled helplessly. Everyone tried their best to get on the hot search, but Nie Wei was so good that he could get on the top of the hot search by making any dish.

The one who wanted to cry the most was Wang Banbi. He was going to release the news of the national tour and strive for the last headline, but he didn't expect that he was squeezed out by Nie Wei and a dish of sweet and sour pork less than two hours after he made the headlines. Wang Banbi called Ziyi in the middle of the night to cry and complain.

Zhang Ziyi was also amused and crying, but there was nothing she could do. Her man also wanted to save face. Although Wang Banbi said that he didn't care about hot searches and headlines, he actually cared more than anyone else.

After all, the media laughed at him so much. Even if he said that he didn't care, at least he would try to be proud in his actions. But every time he mustered up his strength to make the headlines, he missed the opportunity for no reason.

In Zhang Ziyi's opinion, this was a matter of luck. Just like today, who would have thought that Nie Wei would cook in a variety show, and it looked delicious. This news was obviously much more interesting than Wang Banbi's tour performance.

Secondly, although Wang Banbi was very famous, he was not a traffic star after all, and he didn't have the physique of hot searches.

The public recognized his music and his status in the music industry, but they didn't pay much attention to him. When they heard that Wang Banbi was going to hold a concert, there must be a lot of people going to listen, but among those who went, there were probably not many who were Wang Banbi's die-hard fans.

This person was not destined to have traffic, but was forced by the media to have traffic, and the result was that he struggled bitterly.

Others laughed at Wang Banbi, but Zhang Ziyi felt very distressed. After thinking about it all night, she finally made up her mind to be open with Wang Banbi.

After Wang Banbi received Zhang Ziyi's call, he was moved to tears. This time he really cried, the kind of tears that flowed loudly. He has been in the entertainment industry for more than 20 years and knows very well how much sacrifice Zhang Ziyi will have to make by doing this.

Although he is known as Wang Banbi and is a recognized first-line singer, compared with Zhang Ziyi, the top actress in China today, the gap is at least a million miles. If Zhang Ziyi announces this, it will definitely affect her career.

"It doesn't matter to me. I'm 37 years old anyway. I'm at the age where I should have a stable family. You proposed to me and I agreed. It's only a matter of time before we make it public. I'm just afraid that after we make it public, you will be slandered by some rumors."

Wang Feng was even more moved by Zhang Ziyi's words. At this time, she was not considering herself, but was worried about her own tolerance.

Wang Feng naturally thought of what Zhang Ziyi said.

After all, if the relationship between the two was made public, there would inevitably be many fans of Zhang Ziyi and even passers-by who would mock him for being a gigolo and a clinger. After all, no matter how you look at it, it's Wang Feng who is climbing up the social ladder to Zhang Ziyi.

But Zhang Ziyi has made such a sacrifice. If he can't even bear this criticism, how can he deserve to have such a good wife?

Wang Feng made up his mind almost instantly.

Of course, making it public is not a decision that the two can make on a whim. They have to consult the agency and get consent before they can do so.

It's easy for Wang Feng, because he owns his agency and he is the boss. He just needs to ask for his permission. But it's not easy for Zhang Ziyi.

You should know that Zhang Ziyi is the most popular female star in Huayi and the only actress in China who is truly well-known internationally. Her personal situation has a great impact on the value of Huayi, which may even involve hundreds of millions or even billions of market value of Huayi.

So when reporting to the company, Zhang Ziyi was also very nervous, afraid that the company would not agree.

She even thought that the company would most likely not agree.

After all, the value of an actress who has no love life and an actress who is about to get married is definitely different. For example, if a married actress auditions for some plots involving couples, the director will consider whether the audience will be distracted by her personal love life.

The acting path will be narrowed invisibly.

Zhang Ziyi is not afraid of this. First, she has an idol face, but she also has powerful acting skills. Second, she is 37 years old and wants a stable life from the bottom of her heart. Even if the acting path is really narrowed, she is willing.

But what she thinks may not be the same as the company's.

After all, if her acting range becomes narrower, it will mean a decrease in value, and the company certainly does not want to see the value of its artists depreciate.

In fact, Zhang Ziyi's guess is correct. After she revealed her idea of ​​getting married to the company, Wang Zhonglei held a meeting overnight just for Zhang Ziyi's matter. At the meeting, most directors felt that it was unwise for Zhang Ziyi to make her love life public and prepare for marriage.

You know, Zhang Ziyi has just won the Saturn Award for Best Actress, and the leading role in two science fiction films made her famous. When she walks on the streets abroad, she will be blocked by a group of people asking for autographs.

At the peak of her popularity, if she broke the news of getting married at this time, the key is that the person she is going to marry is just a first-line singer with no traffic, which is simply a joke with her career.

If this matter is made public, Zhang Ziyi's value will depreciate by 99%, and Huayi's market value will fluctuate and decline as a result.

The key is whether Zhang Ziyi's public disclosure will cause other artists in the company to have other ideas? Wang Zhonglei knows that many of these artists under his company are secretly dating.

As the company's top sister, Zhang Ziyi naturally has eyes and ears.

The results of the meeting were immediately heard by Zhang Ziyi, who felt that only Nie Wei could help her at this time.

At one o'clock in the morning, Zhang Ziyi called Nie Wei.

Because of the time difference, it was just evening in Fog City at this moment. Nie Wei and Shu Chang were having dinner with Ms. Luo Lin and talking about movies.

Nie Wei was a little surprised when he received Zhang Ziyi's call. He was on business trips all year round and realized what time it was in China. Zhang Ziyi called him so late, so something must have happened.

After saying sorry to Ms. Luo Lin, Nie Wei took the phone and walked to the corner to answer it.

As soon as the call was connected, Zhang Ziyi hurriedly told Nie Wei her thoughts. Facing Nie Wei, she had nothing to hide, and she really said what she wanted to say.

"Nie Wei, the company doesn't seem to agree with my public relationship news, and even more so, it doesn't agree with my idea of ​​getting married. What should I do?"

Nie Wei couldn't help but smile bitterly at this moment. Zhang Ziyi really gave him a difficult problem.

However, Nie Wei did not hesitate for too long and quickly made a decision. Since Zhang Ziyi wanted to be public and wanted a stable life, he agreed.

Thanks to Mr. Anderson and Fantasy Paradise for their generous donations.
